Compatible 1080P Display Using 1080I Transmission
A camera that produces 1920 times 1080 pixels in color progressively scanned at 60 FPS was described and demonstrated at the SMPTE convention in November 1997. This paper describes a method of transmitting this information using a standard MPEG 1080I compression format. Processing in a 1080P display can reconstruct the same image as is now displayed by the camera with the full 1000 line resolution and without the interlace artifacts. — A 1080I receivers will display it normally but with the interlace artifacts. This provides broadcasters a route to upgrade displayed images from 1080I to 1080P without changing transmission standards.
